/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I've never seen a modern inverter mini-split actually turn off its compressor under normal usage, unless you manually change the set temperature. They usually start at high speed, ramp down a bit while cooling/heating and then once the temperature setpoint comes close start slowing down the compressor gradually, until they reach equilibrium, after which point they maintain that very slow speed.

Non-inverter ACs are either 20 years old or US windows/central air units.

Thread files are a thing but you still the problem of strength and getting more material on there

why does the elctricity go into what you plug into it, isn't it happy enough in the plug? when i put in a huge resistor oven it tries to go through. is it stupid? am i stupid?

>>2791350
Technically feasible but I don't want to modify the other parts and I would still need the screw to have similar features. Threads are bad enough can't take a gauge to them to actually see what pitch it is and the taps didn't seem to agree with the threads, so it's' probably some odd metric thread.

>"I'm not even six foot but this could probably fit a 6 foot 3 person"
Yeah no, coming from somebody that tall, I'm not gonna fit in that piece of shit let alone sleep in it. That looks like the most miserable way to sleep.

>Instead of drinking something delicious and enjoyable, down a trendy drug so you can't taste it

is there anything more useless than a 20 amp outlet
i have never seen a single device that actually needed this

lots of old/vintage stuff is sadly zero info, I got a MTC boombox here that I "fixed" (the motors for the tape cassette drive are worn out and I don't got replacements or a electrical diagram) so I'm currently stuck on how to actually fix it, or get parts for it. I could try "adjusting" the tape speed potentiometer for the motors but I'm pretty sure its the motors being actually worn out.

You are severely overestimating how much the average neighbor knows about networking.

Just eyes I mean

The secret to making good coffee is that you don't. Instead, you buy some kratom powder, fill a small cup with hot water, mix in the kratom, drink it fast over your tongue so you won't taste it. Then drink a chaser, anything you want, long as it has flavor to drown out the kratom flavor. A superior thing to coffee.

I get the child safe ones because it looks like their eyes and mouth are closed. Creepy mfers.

Eh, looks better to have something on the cabinets instead of being hospital white everything.

If those counters are formica? Eh, I guess, still stupid. Painting a food-handling surface is idiotic. Actual stone? Fucking war crime.

Good idea, would be neat to download updates for that day's internet snapshot off some broadcast signal.

Another alternative I thought of is to use unlimited phone calls to act as a dial up modem. I think someone else did this recently though.

2+2+2=potato eh OP?

Of what wasn’t just a failure? Probably this big guy. I’ve had worse looking overall prints, but this guy was the end result of going straight for a huge print before really knowing what I was doing so areas that could have looked better are kind of fucked and came with a lot of failures

how much fucking oil do you think you apply to hair clippers you retard?

I apply, like, a single drop of oil on my clippers after I sharpen the blades and even that is too much sometimes

But I get MORE energy back when I compress it afterwards

I've never paid attention- is JB weld one of those compounds that cures faster when spread thin? Or does it cure faster when gooped on real thick?

I usually work with resins and some resins cure when thin like a paint, but others snap cure the thicker the mass is

Any reason you can't drill and tap for the next common size up?

There is no other. This little piece of dynamite is irreplaceable and... cheap!

What are some good books for a newfag? I've sewn a few things (biggest thing being pic related), but my stitches aren't that neat, and the end knots are a disaster, so I wanna see what I'm doing wrong. Like, the bowtie, I have no clue how to finish it after getting it on, so if I pull on it, it kinda just gets pulled away, instead of staying on it tightly.

Gotta learn this skill, myself and for the same reason. You can't really buy quality socks at a decent price anymore. They're chinkshit or from some other 3rd world hellhole. They wear so fast, it's like they're made of paper.
